The Henderson Musical Association.

The second concert of this Association
will take place in Burwell Hall, February
4th. 1t is the purpose of the management
to give an attractive programme, and the
entrance fee will be small. 1t is hoped
that the Henderson public will assist in
this honest and earnest effort that is being
made to improve the musical talent of our
town. We do not yet claim to have at
tanned any great success, but from twenty
five to thirty have been, and are, systemat-
icallv and earnestly at work, and we hope
to achieve a very decided success in good
time. We have rented and fitted up very
neat hall for practice over MeSsrS. Cooper
& Mitchells Store. We have just purchased
one of Weber's best New Square Grand
Pianos. 1t has been sent directly from the
factory i'm New York. We will use this
instrument at all of our concerts. We are
clad to announce that Misses Hester, Young
and Beamau of the Henderson Female Col
lege have united with the society and will
regularly attend at our practice hall and
add much to the interest of the Association
The Association is looking forward with
Festival i'm Petersburg, which convenes in
NAV: there they will be thrown with the
best talent in the country, and they are
now hard at work to be ready to take their
part in the performance.
The regular concerts OF the Association
are to be held at Burwell Hall and the net
proceeds are to 60 toward paying the bal
ance due on their new piano.

ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.
Something for the Trading Public to Read
and Consider.

While we sell goods cheap, they are
in fact not cheap goods, as some of
our would be competitors whould have
you believe. We have no old time
honored, stock-worn goods to close
out at cost or 10 per cent. above cost,
bit we have the real solid valuables
bought for the metallic cash, on sale
10 to 20 per cent. less than our long
winded competitors can buy. We do
not hesitate to say yes, we buy goods
from the red flag where the credit
mans name is worthless. We thereby
get the same goods at 40 to so per
cent. less than he promises to pay. We
do not restrict our customers to 1 cents
worth or pins or needles the more
we sell the better We like it. Nor do we
sell goods for less than cost-as some
others claim to do. We make a small,
fair profit on all our goods cheap as
they are. The secret of this is there's
money and brains enough in our con-
Germ to enable us to buy so as to sell
cheaper than long-winded concerns.
Come and see for yourself and be con-
WINGED of the genuine bargains to be
had at the Racket Store"

A Live Town and a Live Man.

Henderson is one of the most thriving
towns in North Carolina, and also one of
or Virginia. There is considerable quanti-
ty of tobacco that's sold in Henderson, and
the farmers always obtain satisfactory
prices. Cooper's Warehouse leads the list
in big prices and high averages. d. Y.
Cooper, the proprietor, buys more tobacco
and at higher prices than any other man on
that market. COoper's Warehouse is the
best lighted and best arranged house for
comfort of farmers of any other in the
State. At this house you will always find
a large corps of attentive clerks ready TO
look to your comfort and interest, and
d. Y. Cooper to see that your tobacco
brings the highest market price.-Roxboro
Courier.

Beautiful moonlight nights Fair Luna

HENDERSON FEMALE COLLEGE.


The exercises at Burwen Hall Tuesday
night incident to the formal opening of
the Henderson Female College, were of a
most entertaining and enjoyable nature i'll
every way. There was large crowd
present and the strict attention paid to
what was said and done fully attested the
deep interest all felt for the success of the
enterprise the Inauguration of which the
exercises of the evening were commemora-
tive. The exercises opened with prayer by
Rev. j. d. Arnold, invoking the divine
blessing upon the institution and the Oc-
casion, after which Col. VIM. Ii. S. Bur
gwyn president Of the Board of Directors
delivered the installation address, which
was pronounced finished effort by all who
heard it. 1t was indeed an admirable adj
dress, and ELECTED warm applause. Rev. j.
NJ. Rhodes, A. NJ, president of the college,
responded in happy manner, saying he &C
cepted the charge rendered him with full
knowledge and due regard for the respon-
sibilities resting upon him, and promising
his earnest endeavOrS in behalf of the sue
cess of the institution over which he was
called to preside, at the same time asking
the hearty cooperation of the president
and members of the Board of Directors and
the citizens of the town and county in the
work to which he should bend his energies.
Short addresses were made by Revs. 7.
J. Horner, j. E. Ingle, Alex. Sprunt, S.
W. Coe, and J. D. Arnold, in the order
named, all of which were timely and we'll
put. Lack of space prevents our giving a
synopsis of each gentleman'S remarks as
we would like to do, for it would be we'll
if everything that was said could be pub
lished. Suffice it to say all expressed them
selves as heartily in sympathy with the
enterprise and uttered words of wisdom
and truth which it would be we'll for us as
a community to remember and act upon.
The enjoyment of the occasion was
greatly heightened by some delightful vo-
cal and instrumental music by Misses
Young and Hester of the Faculty. Miss
Hester's exquisite voice has frequently de-
lighted H anderson audiences and she is al
ways fayorite. Miss Youngs perform
ance Oh the piano was of high order and
showed her capable of invoking the sweet
est strains of harmony from that difficult
instrument as we'll as competent in
structor in imparting like knowledge to
others.
We repeat, that the exercises were of an
entertaining and enjoyable nature, and bore
unmistakable evidence throughout of the
great unanimity on the part of our people
for the welfare and success of the Hender-
son Female College. AS has been so often
said before, there is no good reason why
Henderson may not have a female school
of high grade at least the equal of any in
the State, and we are going to have it.

PERSONAL---VERY. Robert. VanDaventer,
the newly elected pastor of the Baptist
church, preached in this place last Sunday
morning and night. It was our pleasure
to hear him in the morning, and it has
been long time since we have listened to
a finer discourse on any subject 1t was
indeed an admirable effort and the speaker
captivated every person in the congrcga-
ton. Mr. VanDeventer is fluent, ready,
speaker, his manner earnest and at times
spirited, and his style natural and easy
His sermon showed careful thought and
study and was the subject of much favor
able comment among those who heard it.
We believe our Baptist friends have been
extremely fortunate in the. selection of
such good man and excellent preacher
as Rev. Robt. VanDeventer to serve them
in his ministerial capacity.
